Pretty nice bike! Rear booster looks beast! I don't think you should need one, those frames should be pretty stiff in a brake area and it will look neater!

I don't think you should need one, those frames should be pretty stiff in a brake area and it will look neater! Bit of an exaggeration, but you know what i mean, saved like 600 ish grams. Got a new rear wheel for it today, just need a screw on sprocket and she'll be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 That is one beefy looking brake booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 That is one beefy looking brake booster. It's a modded echo (Team?) 4 bolt booster. Its had the webs cut out, which brings it to under 100grams, but still retains the strength through the I beam section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Team was a 2-bolt, this looks more like a 4-bolt which would be the Control. Still the Heatsink booster was way more massive back in the day!
